The Tradition about Wearing al-Khuff (half-boot), al-Na‘l (Shoes) and Taking them off

2. Humayd ibn Ziyad has narrated from al-Hassan ibn Muhammad ibn Sama‘ah from Wuhayb ibn Hafs from abu Basir who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah عليه السلام, has said, ‘When wearing on begin with the right foot and when taking off your al-Khuff (half-boot) or shoe begin with the left foot.’”

3. A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from Ja‘far ibn Muhammad al-Ash‘ariy from ibn al-Qaddah who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah عليه السلام, has said, ‘When one of you wears his shoes he must wear on the right foot first then the left foot, when taking off you should remove from the left before the right.’”

4. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Ali ibn al-Hakam from Aban from al-Halabiy who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah عليه السلام, has said, ‘Do not walk with one pair of shoe.’ I asked, ‘Why I must not walk with one shoe?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘It is because if a touch of Satan reaches you, it will never go away, unless Allah wants otherwise.’”

5. It is narrated from the narrator of the previous Hadith from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn Faddal from al-‘Ala’ from Muhammad ibn Muslim who has said the following: “Abu Ja‘far عليه السلام, has said, ‘If one walks with one shoe and if a touch of Satan reaches, him it will not leave him unless Allah wants otherwise.’”

6. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from al-Nawfaliy from al-Sakuniy who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah عليه السلام, has said that Ali ibn al-Husayn عليه السلام, walked with one shoe while repairing the other one, and he did not consider it harmful.’”
